What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on moving the teeth and jaw into proper alignment.The medical term for improper tooth or jaw alignment is a ‘malocclusion.’ A Specialist Orthodontist can diagnose, treat and in some cases even prevent malocclusions.

As well as straightening teeth with braces and Invisalign® clear aligners, orthodontics can also help correct:

Finger and thumb sucking
Bite function
Jaw irregularities
Breathing problems
Speech difficulties
